It is appropriate to streamline the Committee procedure in this area. The Committee established by Article 58 of Regulation (EC) No 178/2002 should be charged with the task of assisting the Commission in the exercise of its implementing powers in respect of the expenditure incurred in the relevant areas and the name of that Committee should be changed in order to reflect its increased responsibilities.
